Appendix F
WBK25
For interfacing with an Ethernet jack on a
PC or on a network hub.
If you are using a PC or a network with an available
Ethernet jack you can obtain three parallel ports by
using a WBK25 Ethernet-to-Parallel Port Interface.
The WBK25 provides high-speed Ethernet
connectivity for WaveBook, DaqBook, WBK40,
and WBK41 systems. Connection to the Ethernet is
made via an Ethernet patch cable, which links the
WBK25’s 10/100BaseT Ethernet port to a PC’s
Ethernet jack or an Ethernet network hub.
The WBK25 Ethernet-to-Parallel Port Interface
connects to the Ethernet and provides three
parallel ports.
The WBK25 includes three parallel ports, labeled as expansion ports 1 through 3. Each of these parallel
ports can be attached to one of the designated acquisition devices via a parallel cable. The ports cannot be
used for auxiliary devices such as printers and scanners.
Refer to separate instructions [supplied with the WBK25] if applicable.
WBK25’s three parallel ports are labeled as expansion ports 1 through 3. They are
used to connect to WaveBook, DaqBook, WBK40, and WBK41 systems via parallel
cables. The ports cannot be used for other parallel devices, such as printers and
scanners.
